Plans for Baptist Assembly are drawing together, it seems, and one of the 'Special Interest Groups' is that of 'Small Churches' - nice irony as we account for the biggest number of Baptist churches and last year there were over 200 of us at the seminar!
Anyway, the ambitious plan is as follows (though final order is to be agreed)...
Introduction – Ruth WoodFree from buildings – Catriona Gorton
Free to be different - Nigel Williams, Sandra Thwaite and Ken Walker
Free to die – Sheila Martin
Free to give – BMS representative, as arranged by Carol
Free to be – Carol Murray
An observation - isn't it funny, proportionately, how many women serve small churches? I'm glad there are a couple of blokes involved but do wonder how a group of three will speak in the allocated 5 minute slot!
Some interesting titles and, whatever size your church, you'll be very welcome to join us (I think on Sunday afternoon but that isn't final yet either!!). See you there.
